True independent contractors are not covered by your workers comp policy, but misclassification is a major risk. Georgia auditors look at how the work is actually performed. If a 1099 acts like an employee (set hours, supervised work, using your tools), the state can reclassify them and assess back premium plus penalties. When in doubt, cover them or get a clear legal opinion.
